The Palestinian banking system’s heavy dependence on "Israel" has exposed it to growing financial risks, with two Israeli banks processing billions of shekels in transactions each year and controlling a key channel to the Israeli financial system.

The rapprochement between Hamas and Mohammad Dahlan’s faction is taking on a political and electoral dimension, with talks of a broad alliance including Islamic Jihad, leftist groups and independents to contest the November 28, 2026, legislative elections.

For more than a decade, waste from the Israeli Occupation has flowed into various parts of the West Bank, while a large market for collecting, dismantling, and extracting metals from electronic waste has taken shape in the southern Hebron area.

Since "Israel" shut down 3 radio stations in Hebron in the southern West Bank in 2015, Israeli measures against Palestinian media have repeatedly followed a similar pattern: raids on media institutions, disruptions to broadcasts, and the seizure of equipment under the pretext of “incitement” or “supporting terrorism.”

Debates have recently been reignited regarding the future of the Palestinian political regime and the possibility of restoring democratic life after the absence of the Legislative Council for nearly two decades.
